Coach Talk

ExigentCircumstances
Listen, ExigentCircumstances, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It takes real moxie to play not one, not two, but THREE starters with zero points (Steven Sims Jr., Chris Godwin, and Leonard Fournette), while still getting the W. All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the early regular season. Try it when the postseason rolls around, and we're toast.
Boomtown Brawlers
"Not seeing enough chances" won't cut it as an excuse this week for Boomtown Brawlers. Our pass-catching corps (five WR and one TE) were targeted a grand total of 42 times in Week 4. With only 24 total receptions, this group may need to work on chemistry with their QBs.
